[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ITA2B_HUMAN ITA2B_HUMAN] Integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 is a receptor for fibronectin, fibrinogen, plasminogen, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vitronectin. It recognizes the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. It recognizes the sequence H-H-L-G-G-G-A-K-Q-A-G-D-V in fibrinogen gamma chain. Following activation integrin alpha-IIb/beta-3 brings about platelet/platelet interaction through binding of soluble fibrinogen. This step leads to rapid platelet aggregation which physically plugs ruptured endothelial cell surface.

Integrin alphaIIbbeta3 is the key receptor regulating platelet retraction and accumulation and a proven drug-target for antithrombotic therapies. Here we resolve the cryo-EM structures of the full-length alphaIIbbeta3, which covers three distinct states along the activation pathway. Firstly, we obtain the alphaIIbbeta3 structure at 3 A resolution in the inactive state, revealing the overall topology of the heterodimer with the transmembrane (TM) helices and the ligand-binding domain tucked in a specific angle proximity to the TM region. After the addition of a Mn(2+) agonist, we resolve two coexisting structures representing two new states between inactive and active state. Our structures show conformational changes of the alphaIIbbeta3 activating trajectory and a unique twisting of the integrin legs, which is required for platelets accumulation. Our structure provides direct structural evidence for how the lower legs are involved in full-length integrin activation mechanisms and offers a new strategy to target the alphaIIbbeta3 lower leg.
